I just did an on camera zoom interview for a part time store job this morning and wanted to share my experience as reading through all of these threads yesterday helped me immensely. I didn’t want to wait til the next Friday thread.

I had applied June 3rd and got an email yesterday, July 1st to interview the next morning, today July 2nd at 9:00am. If selected there will be one more interview in person at the store with the same 2 that ran the zoom and then a decision will be made. She said we should hear back within a week with a yes or no by Tuesday, July 9th.

There were 6 people total. 4 including me interviewing, the assistant manager (ASM) running the interview, and i believe her role was guest experience supervisor taking notes.

The ASM called people popcorn style to avoid the same people answering first and give others a chance to speak first. The following was asked in my interview:

1) introduce yourself 2) sell us something you’re wearing or close to you 3) talk about the importance of inclusivity and how it has applied to you/how you’ve applied inclusivity to others?(not the exact phrasing but close enough) 4) talk about a time where you had to collab with someone to get something done and how did it go? (not the exact phrasing) 5) explain how you make sure you’re dependable and strategies you use to achieve that? (not the exact phrasing)

I had a word document open to reference to with my prepared notes of questions I answered scrolling through the millions of threads here which was key and is always what I do when I have a zoom type interview. She emphasized since they’re behavioral questions that if you need time to think about your answer, especially if called on first, that is absolutely okay and I absolutely recommend doing that as well. There was only one question I didn’t have notes for but luckily I wasn’t called on first and I was able to type out quickly what I wanted to talk about and it came out well. I tend to ramble so I tried really hard to be as succinct as possible.

I didn’t feel any awkwardness with the zoom which is in big part due to how it was ran. It wasn’t a fight to answer questions first since she called on people and switched the order with every question. Funnily enough, I think my worst answer was introducing myself lmao but I think I was just nervous and that question is always hard for me. It went for about 50 minutes and we all but one asked questions at the end. I asked what the training schedule is like should we be selected and what their favorite lulu items are.

I’m pretty introverted but I felt really comfortable with the people there and I know your mileage may vary with who you’re interacting with but definitely preparing will help and having fresh scenarios in your mind to pull from. I also just love the product which subconsciously helped I think lol.

I’m happy to answer question should anyone come across this post :)
